Not oral cancer, do not worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Cancerous ulcers are non healing and does not come and go..
So the ulcers are not cancerous..

Other symptoms can be related to side effects of any medication that you are taking..
So consult your Physician about it..

As far as ulcer is concerned it is not cancerous so do not worry..

Hope this helps.
